Duke v. Hogan

116 S.E. 598, 155 Ga. 360, 1923 Ga. LEXIS 68

Opinion

Gilbert, J.

1. The use of the word “ plaintiff ” instead of the word “ defendant ” in the charge of the court, where the context plainly showed the use of the word was a mere slip of the tongue, and such as was not calculated to mislead the jury, will not necessitate a new trial.
